Corona celebrates spooky season at the beach

CORONA CELEBRATES SPOOKY SEASON AT THE BEACH
CHICAGO – October 15, 2007 – A new Corona Beer TV spot, “Ghost,” treats viewers to a spirited Halloween trick. The commercial starts in the familiar Corona world with a sandy beach, the sound of waves crashing in the background, and Corona Extra and Corona Light bottles and limes scattered between two faceless, tanning couples. But then eerie music creeps into the background, followed by a shadow and blur of what later becomes a pale, shirtless man in beach trunks with the tag: “Beware of Ghosts. Happy Halloween.” “The Corona campaign has used beach imagery to great effect for over a decade, and it’s made our advertising distinct in the beer category,” said Timm Amundson, vice president of marketing, Corona Extra and Corona Light for Crown Imports. “The new spot is a notable adaptation because of its playful approach to the brand essence – the spirit of the getaway, no matter what the season.” “Ghost” will run from Oct. 15 until Oct. 31 on major networks including ABC, FOX, NBC and CBS, and during late night talk shows such as “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” “Late Show with David Letterman,” “Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson” and “Late Night with Conan O’Brien.”
The 30-second spot was created by Cramer-Krasselt, the third-largest independent ad agency in the country.
